What is Personal Best?

Personal Best is a workout insights app for iPhone. It reads your workouts from Apple Health and turns them into insights, leaderboards, fun facts, and more.

Personal Best doesn’t record workouts itself, it leaves that to apps better specialised for it – like Strava, Peloton and Apple Fitness.

What’s the story behind it?

I’m Shaun, an indie iOS developer in London, UK. In April 2020 during the UK’s lockdown I decided to learn SwiftUI so I’d have something to in the evenings other than rewatch Friends for the sixteenth time. A week later, Personal Best was live on the App Store!

Since then, I’ve kept at it, and now Personal Best has thousands of active users and a high App Store rating. Little by little, Personal Best is becoming a best-in-class app that can stand with the greats on iOS.

Questions and enquiries

I’m happy to make myself available to any journalists, bloggers or podcasters wishing to discuss Personal Best or independent iOS app development. Get in touch via Mastodon, Twitter or email to schedule something.

If you need to add device frames (the iPhone outline) to these screenshots, I recommend using the excellent Apple Frames shortcut from MacStories.
